<p>> It is not uncommon to incorporate when doing that. The idea is if you fuck up their site somehow (or more likely - they claim you did) they can't try and go after your personal bank account or your car or your house. Only what is held by your company.<p>This is a common misconception. A corporation doesn’t protect you from personal liability. If you intentionally or negligently damage someone’s property they can sue you personally. In many cases they can sue both, and it’s easier to collect from an established business, but that doesn’t do you any good as a freelancer.<p>Nuisance lawsuits aren’t much of an issue because insurance covers the legal defense and indemnifies you</p>

<p>Authors get around 10% of the cover price of a book as royalties, it depends on several factors. The rest goes to the publisher<i>. So some do lose money, but the break even for the publisher is usually well before the advance is fully covered by royalties.<p></i>Well the publisher also pays for the book to be bound, edited, overhead for their staff, cover art. Many books don't sell for the full retail price and are discounted. So net of all of this a 10% profit margin is common, they aren't keeping 90% of the book sales.</p>

<p>Usually you just hear about people suing the company, they are easier to collect from. Often they have insurance that will pay out a claim that is faster to pursue than a lawsuit. And if the damages are really large a single employee could go bankrupt. Also because the company is vicariously liable for the actions of their employees in the scope of their duties.<p>But anyone that personally causes damage through negligence or intentional acts can be sued personally as well. If the employer is bankrupt the employees involved would be the only ones pursued. And these damages are relatively small individually, bankruptcy is not an issue.<p>Also there are some exceptions to the limited liability for company owners or directors like for illegal activity and fraud.</p>

<p>Something like this exists with PPA solar leases, and with home batteries.<p>But it’s usually a bad deal for the homeowner compared to a more conventional lease or purchase with a fixed rate. The incentives don’t match up, there is also the issue of the lease buyout if the home is sold.</p>
