What prevents people from giving away ebooks?

Alright, here's the thing… If someone downloads an e-book, what is preventing them from just uploading it and sharing it online? There is probably a software that lets you put your ebooks onto your computer, right?
Also, another question that's not really related, if you have an e-reader are you limited to that book store of can you buy e-books from other places? Ex. If I bought an e-book from kindle store could I transfer it over to a nook from barnes & nobles?

What would cause a big can of baking powder to explode?

We had a huge can of baking powder on the top shelf of our pantry and it completely exploded without warning. It cause the can to look like a bowl after. Leaving baking powder in every nook and cranney in the pantry. Even on the ceiling. Not sure if the can was dented or expired. What would cause it to explode?

What does this dream mean? I woke up crying?

Alright so I dreamed that I was in the kitchen of my g-ma and g-pas's house (used to live there with my mom). My grandma & grandpa were in the breakfast nook listening to me and my mom in the kitchen. I was singing opera, not very well but I I got in my mom's face and was singing. She said to me, "when I was your age…" not sure of the last part but she meant she did something better than me pretty much. I immediately noticed that she had on light green & orange eye shadow-it was my brand new eye shadow that I hadn't even opened yet. I started flipping out, yelling at her for wearing my new eye shadow. She said to me," it was in my dresser," I replied, " we share storage". So then she tried to punch me in the face. I ducked, grabbed her fist and swung back. She said, "No, you take it and feel however you want-ugly or bad" something like that-that's what she meant though. I said, "No, I'm a woman now, you can't hit me or treat me like that-if you hit me or get in my face again I might kill you,''. Then I noticed a white lamp and the paint was all streaky. I took some kind of paint remover and used a small cue-tip maybe, and tried to remove the white paint. Underneath, I saw another layer of chipped paint and the real color of the lamp was brassy.

Then I woke up crying. My mom was physically abusive when I was a kid, I don't speak to her anymore. Though I don't actually want to kill her (that's a bit much) I am very hurt and angry.

So, any ideas as to what this means?

Common recipes every woman (or man) should know?

Hello, I'm a 17 year old girl. I really want to learn how to cook, not only for fun but for my family and future. The thing is I don't know where to start, my mom knows mostly Mexican recipes but I would like to know a wide range of dishes. I don't live near my grandma, so I can't really ask her for help. My questions are how did you learn to cook? Are there certain books/websites that helped you? What are some common things everyone should know how to make? I'm pretty clueless and I don't want to spend money on books I'll never use. What would you recommend? Tips and advice would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
