Does this just stash the URL del.icio.us style, or does it actually archive a copy of the page contents for me? I stopped using the former before it even went defunct, because link-rot made the whole concept of saving links effectively useless.

For iOS, use Toolbox Pro for Shortcuts and search for or create a Safari to Markdown file stored in the PKM's inbox. (Or Orion browser with extensions.)

On one hand: when you load an URL the contents are already loaded (copied) into your device (browser).
On the other: doing it intentionally is not legal, if you don't have the Right to make a Copy.
Tricky stuff. I was considering making the place you save the contents private but then again when you provide this kind of tool you could get in trouble.
Would like to hear what others think about this.
Maybe naming it "archive"? I understand that's how archive.org gets away with it.
YouTube DL was alleged to be bypassing copyright protections which doesn’t apply to media without any protections like public web pages.
And in any case, it seems the software was reinstated by GitHub after The EFF intervened.
Youtube-dl had a takedown because they specifically ran a circumvention in their tests. They removed the test and were restored.
Youtube-dl is still freely available.
Saving web pages is not illegal nor prohibited.
I'm having such an option on my link-saving project, it lets you choose to save the content in pdf (using the wonderful weasyprint lib) or not.
