Copyright is a set of laws giving the creator of an original work the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the work for a certain amount of time, or authorize others to do so.
If you are a content creator (writer, composer, sculptor, photographer, etc), copyright allows you to make money from your hard work.
If you are a content user (just about everybody else), copyright limits what you can do with others' work without their permission.
