On a temporary visa, yes. However, if they become a long term resident, they'll be required to get a US drivers licence. Bear in mind that foreign licences are only valid on classes of vehicles considered appropriate for personal transport - if, for example, you come from South Africa with an EC licence, you won't be allowed to operate a vehicle requiring a Class A CDL on that foreign licence.

Why is a drivers license in one state valid in another?

There is an international treaty (Multilateral Road Traffic Convention, the USA and states as a byproduct, signed this treaty in the 1960's) as well as a federal law (Drivers License Compact, replaced by Drivers License Agreement) that requires all states to honor licenses by other states and nations - however please note that not all states honor this agreement. Texas has been known to arrest drivers with licenses from other states, especially other nations; Kansas lost a federal case for this same action; Missouri has been known to arrest people for not having state issued ID, even if they don't live there.

Is it illegal to bring a hard drive full of movie-rips you own legally under your home country's law into the US?

Yes, in theory, if you are in possession of materials that violate US laws (copyright, patent, trademark, etc) then you could get into trouble when you're caught with them. In other words, the ordinary license to import things for your own personal use does not include things that are illegal to have in the USA.
