context: Title: Layered Service Provider
  Passage: Layered Service Provider (LSP) is a deprecated feature of the Microsoft Windows Winsock 2 Service Provider Interface (SPI).  A Layered Service Provider is a DLL that uses Winsock APIs to attempt to insert itself into the TCP/IP protocol stack.  Once in the stack, a Layered Service Provider can intercept and modify inbound and outbound Internet traffic.  It allows processing of all the TCP/IP traffic taking place between the Internet and the applications that are accessing the Internet (such as a web browser, the email client, etc.).  For example, it could be used by malware to redirect web browers to rogue websites, or to block access to sites like Windows Update.  Alternatively, a computer security program could scan network traffic for viruses or other threats.  The Winsock "Service Provider Interface (SPI)" API provides a mechanism for layering providers on top of each other.  Winsock LSPs are available for a range of useful purposes, including parental controls and Web content filtering.  The parental controls web filter in Windows Vista is an LSP.  The layering order of all providers is kept in the Winsock Catalog.

  Title: Livedoor
  Passage: livedoor Co.,Ltd. (株式会社ライブドア , Kabushiki-gaisha Raibudoa ) was a Japanese company that functioned as an Internet service provider and operator of a web portal and blog platform before being brought down by scandal in 2006.  The company was founded and led in its first 10 years by Takafumi Horie, known as "Horiemon" in Japan.  Livedoor grew into one of Japan's premier Internet businesses, putting over 1,000 employees on its payroll at its peak.  Its reliance on acquisitions and stock swap mergers to achieve growth also made it one of the country's most controversial enterprises.  Its growth came to a resounding halt when scandal erupted in early 2006.  An investigation of securities law violations led to a nosedive in the company's stock price.  The Tokyo Stock Exchange delisted Livedoor on April 14, 2006.  The floundering company's properties were purchased by South Korea-based NHN Corp in 2010.

  Passage: AOL (formerly a company known as AOL Inc., originally known as America Online, and stylized as Aol) is a web portal and online service provider based in New York.  It is a brand marketed by Oath, a subsidiary of Verizon Communications.

At the height of its popularity, it purchased the media conglomerate Time Warner in the largest merger in U.S. history.  AOL rapidly declined thereafter, partly due to the decline of dial-up to broadband.  AOL was eventually spun off from Time Warner in 2009, with Tim Armstrong appointed the new CEO.  Under his leadership, the company invested in media brands and advertising technologies.

  Title: Online service provider
  Passage: An online service provider can, for example, be an Internet service provider, an email provider, a news provider (press), an entertainment provider (music, movies), a search engine, an e-commerce site, an online banking site, a health site, an official government site, a wiki, or a Usenet newsgroup.  In its original more limited definition, it referred only to a commercial computer communication service in which paid members could dial via a computer modem the service's private computer network and access various services and information resources such a bulletin boards, downloadable files and programs, news articles, chat rooms, and electronic mail services.  The term "online service" was also used in references to these dial-up services.  The traditional dial-up online service differed from the modern Internet service provider in that they provided a large degree of content that was only accessible by those who subscribed to the online service, while ISP mostly serves to provide access to the Internet and generally provides little if any exclusive content of its own.  In the U.S., the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (OCILLA) portion of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act has expanded the legal definition of online service in two different ways for different portions of the law.  It states in section 512(k)(1):
