Between 2008 and 2010, IANA was allocating 10 /8s per year. In 2010, they allocated 20 /8s. There are only 256 total in the system, and not all of those are even usable.

Rapidly-developing Asia already has about as many people as there are IP addresses by itself.

Where are you going to find enough /8s, how are you going to recover them fast enough to do any good, and who's going to pay the massive legal bills from the ensuing litigation?
