Copy and pasted pages always have published status

When I copy and paste a page in the tree its status is always published or maybe it is the same of the page it is being copied from. I want to make the status of that page unpublished by default and then publish is manually later on. Is it possible?

You could intercept IContentCopyHandler and pass in false for parameter "publishOnDestination" as:

 [ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule))]
    public class CheckedOutCopyInitializableModule : IConfigurableModule
    {
        public void ConfigureContainer(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
        {
            context.Services.Intercept<IContentCopyHandler>((locator, defaultCopyHandler) => new CheckedOutContentCopyHandler(defaultCopyHandler));
        }

        public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {}

        public void Uninitialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {}
    }

    public class CheckedOutContentCopyHandler : IContentCopyHandler
    {
        private readonly IContentCopyHandler _defaultHandler;

        public CheckedOutContentCopyHandler(IContentCopyHandler defaultHandler)
        {
            _defaultHandler = defaultHandler;
        }

        public ContentReference Copy(ContentReference contentLink, ContentReference destinationLink, AccessLevel requiredSourceAccess, bool publishOnDestination)
        {
            return _defaultHandler.Copy(contentLink, destinationLink, requiredSourceAccess, false);
        }
    }
