Ip addresses are like house addresses for computers and technically, anybody can get yours if they really tried and had the right tools.
I don't recall the code you use on AIM but I do know what you're talking about. However, unless somebody is harassing you online or you have permission to directly connect to them, there's no reason you need to know any particular person's IP. In the first case, you can easily report the offender without the getting the IP address yourself and in the second case you're generally given the IP address.

IP adresses are secret things that can be used to attack other computers. It is generally not seen or able to be got in any legal methods, so I cannot tell you any.
