By burying the copper wire with plenty of sulphur and then heating the mix, the wire becomes completely submerged in liquid sulphur. The liquid sulphur then gets to react with the copper, and any oxygen that could possibly oxidise the copper would have to diffuse into the liquid sulphur before reaching the copper. However, oxygen quickly reacts with heated sulphur forming sulphur oxides, so it never reaches the copper wire. This is all under ideal conditions, of course.
