Cap was on the right side in the comics and that's not even in question .

Eventually the Registration Act was repealed.

Whether you think Cap was on the right side in the comics or not almost entirely depends on your political point of view. If you're a bleeding heart-liberal-Bolshevik, you're probably siding with Tony. If you're a gun-totting-conservative-Nugent, you'll be siding with Cap every day of the week.

The real story of the comics was about everyone's reaction to a new government mandate. Spiderman, who the writers decided should straight-up forget that Peter's secret identity was to protect Aunt May and MJ, reveals himself to the public and then suffers the consequences of his actions. The X-Men basically go full Magneto regarding the law (frick with us mutants and we'll frick America). Stark, Reed, and Pym were doing everything because of possible world-annihilating events (see Illuminati), not pro-government motive. Cap on the other hand saw an aggressive government takeover, but backed down when he realized the heroes were letting everyone die instead.

Siege, the crossover event in which the Superhuman Registration Act is finally repealed, had next to nothing to do with the initial argument that the Civil War story actually unveils.
