If anyone can contribute info about how to unsubscribe from the other
lists

 C-FIT_Community at realmeasures dyndns org
 C-FIT_Release_Community at realmeasures dyndns org
 fairuse-discuss at nyfairuse org
 DMCA_Discuss at lists microshaft org
 DMCA-Activists at gnu org

that might help.

Also it would help to have names of people in charge of these lists.

I think lists which do not have clean subscription policies should not
be included in cross-postings anymore, and perhaps cross-postings should
be avoided altogether.

Anyone who thinks he was put on a list without consent and without
unsubscribe info should first look at the mail header (e.g. fields such as
From:, Resent-From:) and then research a bit about that list (e.g.
google) or write to the person in charge.
