So is this saying that a merchant _anywhere in the world_ can be prosecuted under California law if someone in California goes to their web page, and the web page doesn't satisfy the requirements (which I snipped)?
How is a merchant in, say, Finland, supposed to know that this law (or others like it in any city, state, or country in the world) exists?
Ignorance is no excuse for violating the law. This is a standard legal principle which can be loosely translated as, "It's not 'our' problem that you're not psychic, sucker."
