I think the only question of consequence is: will a multi-million dollar corporation sue you, if you do X? I suspect if they do, even ultimately winning the lawsuit will do little to "dull the pain", so to speak.
So I personally do not see the lack of "agreed-upon legally-binding definition" as being in any way to the benefit of an eBook creator.
