I enjoyed this article, and had never heard of Bowie Bonds! But isn't the sharing of risk in exchange for value just the concept of a full time job in any country with labour laws?

I work for a large multinational in a country other than America. I put up with additional bureaucracy compared to the life of a freelancer/contractor because I know that A) The company has a high chance of existing in 12 months B) I won't be fired without cause. In exchange the company is provided value in excess of my wage, training and other overhead costs. How is this different?
