I disagree. Remixing stuff is especially well known in music. Taking parts like a drum beat / break and incorporating it into sth new. Also vocals. True, this isn't 'open source' as of now and needs some skills and technical tools to extract only the voice track for example. But I think art would benefit further if this was easier and available to everyone.
It's also not niche. Take for example Sigala with the well known take on the Jackson 5's ABC (or half of modern music) or all the thousands of songs with the Amen break. (But that's easy to extract)
