Obviously its illegal and you can pressure it legally, but the protocol will stay immutable so you will use legal tools only, there will be no bailouts in BTC because this is not the mess called ETH. You can go there if you want refunds at the expense of hard forks.

Let's say I generate a new address and by some miracle it has Bitcoin already in it belonging to somebody else. Is it legal to just take it? I understand those odds are very low, no need to lecture me, I'm just interested.
I would say yes it`s illegal. You got something which is not yours and therefore you should return it back to the original address. It`s funny to see that many responses clearly just posting spam ... not reading what was first question posted by OP. |

Is taking someone's chicken from their yard stealing, what about their car, or their bank account - even if you found the account numbers? What is the point of asking this question? If it is not yours it is stealing.

Correct, getting someones possession without the knowledge or authority of the owners then its stealing and its illegal, in which thing or country you heard that stealing is legal? lol. stealing bitcoins is surely illegal even if you get it anonymously but in the sense that you forced to get those coins then its illegal. |

Yeah, it does all the things related to take people without the knowledge that belongs in the category of theft even though our intention will be returned (to borrow). wherever stealing is illegal and banned by everyone. |

where are you from? or in which country do you live? if stealing is not illegal there, i might consider moving. this should not be depending on whether you are arrested or not. |

Stealing money is it legal ? Bitcoin is just money and currency like the other currencies, so stealing it is illegal of course, but some scammers think it's more easy to steal bitcoin than other currencies because bitcoin is decentralized
thats true, people say it is not money sometimes but all say that it is illegal to steal it, because of that in my opinion bitcoin is a currency like all others |

100% illegal, it's a stealing - when you take smth that doesn't belong to you, no matter was it a deliberate theft, or an accident. |

I think stealing bitcoin is even more bad and not accepted because bitcoin is a currency and peoples are doing here hard work to get some bitcoins. but some ponzi scammers still do this. the biggest examples of bitcoin stealers are cloudmining sites.. keep away from them if you want to save your bitcoins. |

Exactly. Stealing itself is already a crime enough, it doesn't matter what it is that you steal. However, considering op's situation, I'm not sure how it would be. I don't think stealing is the proper word for it. |

Since ever from the beginning of time, stealing is illegal. Even though no one is going to see you or witness that you are going to steal something then you are committing crime. And I suggest that if you don't want to happen to you, don't try to do it to others so that you are going to be safe. Karma is real if you don't believe it. Right, even others dont see the crime you committed but remember that There is someone watching you from above and you cant hide anything from Him. Stealing is illegal since its already included in the Ten Commandments of God if youre a roman catholic for sure you already knew this thing i dont know in other religion. IMO |

yes. it is an act that is against the law. any action that could harm others is an act that is not commendable. even the person will be given a prison sentence.

I don't think generating a new wallet address can also generate btc too even by some miracle you won''t have btc. The most possible way of having btc randomly is when someone mistakenly put your address instead of the one they are supposed to send, because of a typo error.

It is illegal. You gained access to somebody else's goods. But, assuming that the original owner tracks you down, it will be very difficult for him (in many countries) to prove that you stole something valuable from him and also to be taken serious by the authorities. I know of case when the owner tracked down his smartphone that was stolen, called the police from the front of the thief's house and they didn't go inside, since they needed a warrant. And nobody gave that warrant only based on some pictures in dropbox... (yes, the thief made pictures all over the place and the dropbox was active) From what I know he never recovered that phone. |

He didnt intend to generate an address which owned by someone already but considering he have the motive to get those bitcoins then its illegal in a sense that is stealing but its up to his conscience how he would handle those situation. He can get those bitcoins without being traced since bitcoin is anonymous at its really hard to trace someone. |
