If you are referring to "turnitin", YES! DO NOT COPY PASTE!
If you need more help please feel free to ask.

Under any and all circumstances, do not copy and paste. Your prof won't even need turnitin to detect similarities. All s/he need do is search for sections (couple of sentences here and there) of your paper through Google and any similarities with previously published texts will show up. Nothing is worth that kind of risk :(

then i advise that you pick out sentences here and there and search for them on Google. If any matches appear, pls paraphrase them. That way you will avoid possible problems.

Do that with the essay you bought (search for it on Google). After it comes up clean, make sure that your entire essay reads consistently and that it is not evident that two people, not one, wrote it :)

Not necessarily. If that article has been previously turned in to Turnitin's database it will show up.
There are many databases which are not indexed in Google, but they get caught by turnitin.

Good luck!
P.S.
Turning in bought essays for credit is academic dishonesty and fraud. ;)

miffy,
I will explain it here as well for everyone. Buying an essay and turning it for credit, pretending that you have done the work whereas you have not, is academic dishonesty. I am not saying that you are doing it, but some people do. ;)

Humble is right miffy. The writer could have provided you with a piece which was orginally written for another person - in that case, it could well be stored somewhere in the turnitin database. you really should use the purchased paper as a model and not turn it in
