Is what you mean, "Those who have IPv4 addresses but have need of no more"?

Is what you mean, "Those who need more IPv4 addresses..."?

This is an important distinction because...

... those who have no need of IPv4 addresses would clearly benefit from 
a value being associated with them.  On the other hand, when we talk 
about harm, this is a more difficult question, because we have to ask, 
"in comparison to what?"
