Is Obama encouraging ISIS to kidnap more Americans?

Obama just made a public policy shift today, basically promising that the US will never arrest any family for trying to negotiate with terrorists to get their kidnapped family members home. Now I understand that there are two sides to this. But for ISIS terrorists, isn’t this more incentive to kidnap people from wealthy families, knowing that families can now legally negotiate with them for ransom?
