I signed the pro-Kirby petition...

Yes, I did.  Even though I doubt online petitions have much weight, I felt it important to take a moral stand on this issue.  I also signed the one about Gary Friedrich.  I think it's ridiculous Marvel is trying to get $17,000 out of the man when they've already made so much money off him.  That amount is such a pittance to Marvel and Disney and a huge amount to Friedrich it seems like gratuitous bullying, like giving a wedgie and a swirly to a kid after stealing his lunch money and giving him a black eye.  Marvel probably wastes that much in Post-it notes and toilet paper in a week.  He sued and lost, Marvel.  Let it go already.
