Yes, there are exceptions. But something like Suze.net which is a preferred pass in those forums is going to be dead in not minutes but seconds. Fact is, the majority of passes that stay alive are cracked live for the intended user. This makes it so the user and the owner of the password are the only ones with the password. It never makes it to a list anywhere.
This kind of request cracking is what costs the industry money. Some IRC channels give out such passes to the tune of 25,000 passes served daily. Out of these only 8% or so die. At $20 per sale that is $500,000 from one channel!
And all of it could be stopped by making the users password for them. When it doesn't stop for YOUR program you instantly know you are being hacked. It is THE ONLY WAY they could have gotten your passwords.
Once your shit is secure you will then need to think about torrents, etc...
