No you cannot use someone elses image without permission, regardless of whether the copyright date has been "updated". Since the law was amended in 1989, it has not even been necessary to include a copyright notice in order for a work to be protected.
The only exceptions would be; if it would qualify as "fair use", or if the material has fallen into the public domain.
It is up to the owner of the copyright to keep it updated, so yes, if it is expired you can use the image.
Owning an image or the copyright to an image are the same thing. When you hold the copyright to an image it is yours to do with whatever you will, and you can decide who has permission to use it or not. There is no difference.
With permission from the copyright holder, yes.
"Out of print" does not equal public domain. A work is safe to use only if the copyright has expired or deliberately been placed in the public domain by the rights holder. Or if the copyright has expired and was not properly renewed.
The images in Monopoly are copyright, which means you will need legal permission from the games copyright holders to publish the image.
Use the latest copyright date.
Because notification is not required for protection, it is safe to assume that any image you encounter is protected by copyright unless explicitly specified otherwise. For an example of this kind of statement, see the NASA page linked below.
Contact the copyright holder in writing to request permission; be specific about your proposed usage.
If you are altering someone else's image, you need their permission.
It might be because of copyright violations. The image might be subject to copyright. You have to use your image only as the profile picture.
Each article generally has its own copyright date, below the title. Otherwise, websites use the current date as the copyright date, because that's when the page rendered on the user's computer.
If the website does not post it, then look for any copyright date and use the latest (newest) date. For example, if the copyright says, 'website.com - Copyright 2002-2007', then the published date of the website is 2007.
