This is undoubtedly a bad development, because you are abstracting the creative process from ownership and commercialization. Turning creative works into assets to be bought and sold will only increase the pressure to endlessly extend the copyright on them and stop them from entering the public domain. Most creative works are derivative of other people's work and many have benefitted from adapting songs, chord progressions, melodies etc. that had no copyright on them.
