Use the latest copyright date.
The copyright holder or an appointed administrator can issue a license.
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.

Without a license, yes. Of course, a more accurate answer would depend upon what the item is, how you obtained a copy and how you intend to use it. For example, it is perfectly legal to use an authorized copy of copyrighted items for your own personal use, in private. Similarly, you may use copyrighted items of various types in a non-profit classroom without permission of the copyright owners.

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.
No, copyrighted music cannot be used in your movie without permission, especially if it is to be published. You should always get permission from the respective copyright owners if you want to use content you do not own.
