They're not stealing just remaking because they've run out of ideas. The grudge was remade with the same director.
Japanese horror is a lot more atmospheric and spooky than American horror of the last 20 years. To get that kind of spooky atmosphere in American horror you have to go back before special effects to films like the original Haunting.

Asian cinema is original and passionate without any need or desire to conform to stereotypes demanded by a viewing public whose lack of imagination is staggering. American cinema is afraid of original ideas in case the public dislike them and so steals other ideas (e.g. Asian ones) but coats them in Hollywood formulae and bombast inevitably losing the originality that made the original version so enjoyable.

Yes, Korean, Chinese, Made in Hong Kong, Thai, Japanese, Anime etc. America has always remade films from other countries, but it's hardly stealing.
