Of course they can.
There is copyright on practically every photo in existence.
It takes a very simple search to determine copyright in your country.

Even for repins?

Repin are fine.
Just don't host images on your site and repin them - you would have absolutely no defence against a copyright claim then!
Of course despite copyright existing on practically all images there are images and then there are images.
If you go around taking images that are managed by stock sites or from photographers you could well get into trouble. Don't mess with Getty.
Many images you will find (the good ones at least) will be licenced by image sites but you won't know it.
Look into Creative Commons Licences and Flickr - an attribution is all that is needed for many images. Flickr ecplain the CCLs if you search for the term.

Yup pinners can easily report copyright infringement, and repinning always get's you on safer side..
I remember that one of the group pinner posted a pin on my group board of Eiffel Tower that was not allowed to share, then the original owner came and reported my account so i got temporary suspension of around about 24-48 hrs.
Pinterest officials found that it was not me but a group pinner so they activated my account..
Which means there is pretty fast action on copyright infringement on pinterest

So basically all you have to do is source all of your images from Pinterest itself, collage several into a storyboard styleinfographic, and pin. Jst do not "take anything home" so to say. Hell, this beats CC as no attributon is required. I cold GIMP up afew hundred a week this way.... without even breaking the TOS.
