The fines range from $100,000 to $250,000 per day for statewide candidates and up to $25,000 per day for other candidates.

Let's say that I own a flea market, a market place that I physically built myself: I constructed the building, put the wires & utilities, and paved the parking lot. Then I rent booths to vendors, I collect rent and in exchange they sell their stuff inside MY marketplace. Then one day come some jackass named Cydia and that ahole now tells me he's going to sue me because I have a monopoly in renting my booths.
