that's an interesting precedent, not that it could ever happen. I guess you could argue that it's a flaw in the protocol and you were dumb and thought addresses came with coins ready to spend.

The real owner? Who decides that if it's possible for me to generate the same address? Just because I generated it after shouldn't mean it's illegal. It's not like exploiting an online wallet to steal private keys and drain the accounts.
I feel like you guys are just guessing to be honest, I want to know if it's legal or illegal to take bitcoins out of an address you just generated.
well it's impossiBle to answer something thats never Been done By anyone EVER ;P Not much to Base an answer on ;p
for me, its property, you cant steal another person property
IF you generate an addy and it HAS BTC on it? SOMEONE PUT IT THERE AND ITS THEIR PROPERTY

Taking Bitcoin from an address that you generated that already had Bitcoin would be considered immoral and would be highly frowned upon by the Bitcoin community.

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.
BTC is considered a form of property for most countries. so YES it's illegal to steal it, But specifically your example is a poor one. it would Be ILLEGAL to take BTC in an addy, But it's a statistical impossibility really.
it would Be IMMORAL for sure to take anothers BTC tho too haha, as it got to the address somehow originally By someone

Yeah, it's stealing, but it isn't something to worry about in real life.
The chance of that happening is 1 in 2160. It would take forever to actually stumble on an address with bitcoins in it.
