Hey while we're at it lets bash WarCraft III and any other Tolkien-related things, oh wait better yet lets bash Tolkien because it wasn't his "original" idea in the first place! I've read the book and even though it is similar to Tolkien's work it's not the same. It's kinda like playing WarCraft III and having the races join forces to kill Archimonde (also similar to Sauron). And after that the undying Ner'zhul. And now its Ner'zhul inhabiting Arthas's body. What else can we bash?

There's so many plots that involve going after an very Evil person (or thing). It doesn't mean that the work is stolen. Similar is not the same as a copy!
