I don't know your laws, but over here we are not allowed to use copper brake lines any more. It might pay to check.

Lynn,
No issues with copper brake lines in the UK.
It seems Australia and NZ authorities don't like the idea, but copper has been used for many years and I have never experienced a problem in 49 years of vehicle work. Different matter with steel though, seen plenty of rusted ones fail, from the inside too.
For interest;
