Definitely, cultural phenomena can be shared, but they cannot change hands. Physical things change hands while cultural phenomena can be copied or just remembered by other people. One does not lose an idea when it becomes known by others. One does not lose a movie when it gets watched or copied by others. One does not lose a musical piece when it is heard or recorded by others. Again: one does not lose a cultural phenomenon when shares it with others.
Moreover, it is extremely important and interesting that the ideas reflecting values of physical things must be common for trading parties for these things could be traded!!! The trading of physical things or services without sharing of corresponding ideas is either impossible, or meaningless, or harmful for one or both parties and for the trade itself, market and real property in the end.
