You have to be kidding me! Folks aquire copper from all kinds of places. It is not some rare metal that can only be aquired by stealing or smuggling, like uranium.
I have a 20 foot length of 3" that I removed from my house that was the stink pipe, when I renovated my bath 2 years ago.
GTO, I would take it directly to Advanced Recycling (though I think the name has changed) in Concord off Hall st. That will be the best price you could get for it. Cut off all fittings and weigh them seperate from clean. The price difference is worth the time.
Trust me, if someone shows up with 4 and 5 foot lengths of supply wire (6 gauge or larger) or long lengths of pipe. They are going to need to explain its origin. People are steeling far more worthwhile things than copper. This spring a group of people took a section of railroad track from the small section at the end of our road. Think about how they explained that one to the recycling center. Each section is 30 feet long and apparently weighs over a ton.
