Heroes of Newerth Lawsuit?

So there has been many things floating around the internet claiming that HoN is being sued by blizzard for copyrights.

The big claim is that the custom created maps on Warcraft 3 (WC3) are the property of WC3.  Every player had to agree to TOS before playing the game, therefore DotA is the property of blizzard.

The biggest counter argument however is that "blizzard does not own the concept of DotA, or the concept of RTS, MMO, or action RPG" (Ashigaru 2009).
