More accurately: What's the difference between "stealing" an idea, and seizing an opportunity to "do it better"?

I find myself often shooting down ideas for websites/projects that I'd like to pursue, because "someone already did that" or I feel I would be stealing/copying the idea in some unethical fashion.

Is it unethical to see a poorly implemented but good idea and run with it? Where's the line between "wow they did this better" and "wow these hacks totally stole that"?
