Every Shutterstock picture can be traced back to the original author/photographer. I would suggest NOT using them unless you intend to pay for them, because it is illegal and could get you in a lot of trouble
well, I have a subsciption on shutterstock and every month around 250 downloads remain unused during last week. I sell these downloads for like 35$ to 40$. I once came across an archive that contained about 50 images & all of them matched downloads from my account. I was never questioned about any copyright infringement from shutterstock. Its been couple of months. Dont think its possible for them to keep a track of their huge database.
I have some photos that I do not know if they are paid, I already searched these photos on search sites like tineye for example .. and the site indicated 0 results for my search ie .. the photo may be unique. should i trust?
It's not recommended to use pirated photos. I suggest you download from websites offering free stock photos instead. Those images are safe to use and are mostly high quality.
