Why does it bug you? The law has recently recognized similar claims for the creators of Superman.
My feeling on this is that Marvel/Disney will retain the right to use these characters but will have to share in a portion of the profits with the Kirby estate. Even Disney is reporting that they saw this coming and have accounted for it in their business model.
