Well, there's two ways to do that.
I think we would agree that my ethics shouldn't change to match the law, because the law might be wrong.
But the law should change to match my ethics, if and only if my ethics are right. (Figuring out what ethics are right is left as an exercise)
So if I don't want my project to be used outside the terms of the AGPL, I don't see the problem with releasing it under the AGPL.
If you're against all forms of intellectual property you could just say that and clear things up.
But I'd rather not give up my IP rights before corporations do.

But the validity of intellectual property isn't relevant to my argument in general I think. It just so happens to be true in my case. I'm not sure laws should change to match our ethics to be honest. But I think that's part of the "deeper disagreement" I alluded to in my parent comment.
