I can't seem to find one but I'm no expert on law, I just know the basics, but I would appreciate knowing the latest score regarding all this.
I'm no expert either, nor have I ever claimed to be, but I would argue that by allowing you to archive a Standard Def copy of HD content, they are allowing you to make a single accessible copy for personal use.

But, regardless of what the law says, the restrictions VM place are probably a condition of their agreements to carry content on behalf of the providers..
