Newsgroups are very much alive and well because as far as I know they are still one of the best ways to get pirated software on the net. Believe it or not IRC is also alive and well for the same reason. There are even online services that have many terabytes of storage to temporarily cache newsgroup traffic so that it is easier for the casual user to nab software. See easynews.
