Many of the lasers out there use light that is just the right wavelength to be reflected by copper mirrors.
ie: it may not work unless you are cutting thin material.
There are some lasers that use other wavelengths and other mirror material that may work on copper alloys but it can take a lot of power. Best ask the guy with the laser and if he has never tried copper or thought about it, make her try a sample before assuming it can or cannot be done with the equipment at hand.

Depends on your laser.
