Comment (by grosbouff):

 > Don't think Press This should be a "site copy" tool. It's purpose is to
 share something interesting you found, with a link back to the original
 and perhaps a small quote, not copy whole pages and post them on your site
 :)

 Of course, the goal should not be to be a "site copy" tool, you
 misunderstood me on this point.

 In my opinion, Press This is (should be) useful when you stumble upon a
 great quote, a part of an interesting article, a nice set of pictures, a
 cool video...

 The idea is not to "clone" another website, but to be able to collect
 things - like in an herbaria.

 Personally, I have a (private) blog where I collect such things.  It's
 only for my own use; I collect "memories" and things I like.
 Imagine how useful it could be for a scientist, a journalist, an artist
 ... trying to get documentation for his work.

 Wordpress is an incredible toolbox you can tweak for your own usage.
 Press This should be developed in the same spirit : implementing tools
 (actions,filters,...) people could use and/or tweak.

 I think there is a large variety of ways people are using / could use
 Press This.
 In my opinion, the current tool is (nice but) too restrictive, it doesn't
 leave enough slack for developers to play with it; and not allowing to
 capture HTML is one of the problems.
