They are not doing business in NY - Only selling to people with NY mailing addresses. They have no PHYSICAL presence in NYS which is why they do not need to collect taxes on items shipped to NY addresses. It is the responsibility of the customer to pay "use taxes" if applicable. All this law is about is trying to do an end run around the lack of physical presence.
Did ex-gov Spitzer pay sales tax on the prostitutes whose services he purcahsed?
