The bulbs would all stay on and the source (battery) would be fine for a few reasons.
- the bulbs are connected in a parallel block, making the copper joint a resistor
- because the copper acts as a resistor, it acts like a load
- Voltage stays the same, even when a parallel circuit is the type in question, meaning that if your source is 6 V, 6 V is what's flowing through each joint, dividing itself among each bulb in the joint.
The copper added to bulb 7's location wouldn't act as a resistor unless it was resistor wire, in which case it would heat up.
