Bitcoin doesn't care about laws. All it cares about is ethics.
Bitcoin doesn't care about laws nor ethics.
Should a court issue arise over btc, the person who defaulted will be charged to court, not Satoshi or any btc owner. They did not break the law by creating btc.

Nobody is an owner of Bitcoin, nobody controls it and also it's not a corporation, company, etc. It's just an innovative monetary sistem in which anybody who earns bit coin is a part of the system and owner of Bitcoin.
You said "Nobody is an owner of bitcoin" at the start and at the end you said "who earns bitcoin is a part of the system and owner of Bitcoin". I don't get it and I'm confused. You might wanna rephrase this, mate.
This is like asking who owns the dollar currency. If you've got a dollar in your pocket, who owns it? The government? No. The one who manufactured it? No. The only owner of your money is yourself. No matter who's idea it is, no matter who manufactured it, it's all yours.
We are the owner of our bitcoin. Satoshi is just the founder of bitcoin not the owner of it.
Thats not true.The dollar bill in your pocket is not owned by you it is owned by federal government and you only have the right to use itWe are the owner of our bitcoin. Satoshi is just the founder of bitcoin not the owner of it.
Does that mean all of us doesn't own money?
Does that mean that, me and the entire population except for the government is no owner of any fiat money? If you accidentally dropped a dollar and someone else pick it up, don't you say "That's mine."?Please elaborate more your answer 'coz I found this interesting.
It seems to totally depend on where you live. Some countries pretend it doesn't exist and there aren't any set laws to who owns the Bitcoin. Other countries consider Bitcoin an asset that can gain/lose value over time.
The whole idea with Bitcoin is that no one can control it though. In order for some to seize your coins if they 'aren't legally yours' would be to get your private keys. They can't just walk into the bank, show some legal documents an have everything sent over to them.

I think the OP is confused when it is said "who owns bitcoin".
He thinks that Satoshi Nakamoto owns most of bitcoin but this is not known. He is the inventor but since he wanted bitcoin to be a free digital currency from any laws that is not the case of being the owner of bitcoin.
It is distributed among all not to just one individual.
I meant to ask who has the legal rights on bitcoin name and its technology.I understand that the amount of bitcoin one possess is owned by him but what if Satoshi move the court of law and demand all bitcoins be return to him because he invented it.What would the court rule?

He is the inventor but since he wanted bitcoin to be a free digital currency from any laws that is not the case of being the owner of bitcoin.

Satoshi is the founder of Bitcoin, also Satoshi is the smallest amount of bitcoin, 100.000.000 Satoshis=1 Bitcoin.
Yep, the founder. But not at all the owner. Cause that's the idea here, for it to be promoted as an actual currency means. Noone really earns any currency for himself.

Wait. I don't get what you're trying to say when you Satoshi Nakamoto left. Does that mean he just created bitcoin but not interested in having a coin or something?

All bitcoin users own it. 
Bitcoin is invented by Satoshi Nakamoto but it is common knowledge that his identity is not known.If there arise any dispute related to bitcoin or its ownership,how would it be settled by court of law or in other words who is the legal owner of bitcoin?
I think a dispute can arise only between btc wallet owners and not the owner of btc. If it involves a software development mishap, then the developer will be taken to court, not Satoshi.
