copyright holder typically has exclusive rights:
to make and sell copies of the work (including, typically, electronic copies)
to import or export the work
to make derivative works
to publicly perform the work
to sell or assign these rights to others
What is meant by the phrase "exclusive right" is that the copyright holder and only the copyright holder is allowed to do these things; everyone else is prohibited from doing them without the copyright holder's consent. Copyright is often called a "negative right", to stress that it has less to do with permitting people (e.g. authors) to do anything, and more to do with prohibiting people (e.g. readers, viewers, or listeners) from doing something: reproducing the copyrighted work. In this way it is similar to the Unregistered Design Right in English Law and European Law.
