I would like to read what you have to say about "Rights are shared, not owned"

2. Observations

For the most part I think you refer to civil rights, Bill of Rights type stuff. Specific rights can get you into different areas of law. Estate, criminal, business for example. Property rights are divisible, can be sold, can be contractual, in the business law sense. But we have domain over our own bodies, and we can't for example, sell the rights to our left leg. Or only in the employment sense, under rational rules.

Rights are shared? Rights are an umbrella concept, we have the same rights. But I cannot possess more of your rights by buying some of yours. I cannot get more than what is allotted to us all.

To me, the world is partly all fouled up because of boundaries. They are indistinct, amorphous. Law evolves case by case, ruling by ruling. I don't think the law is very good at keeping boundaries in mind, even though the law is about resolving conflict.
