Q. My doctor has a number of his patients, me included, on a certain diet plan. The designer of this diet is a doctor who has a website to which one can subscribe that will, among other benefits, afford the subscriber to ask questions from the diet doctor about the diet. May all the patients, or a group of them, band together to purchase one subscription and appoint one patient, or the doctor, to field their questions? Or can only one family do so? Or maybe each patient must have their own subscription?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that it depends on the wording of the subscription agreement. If unlimited and unfettered questions are allowed, then within a reasonable margin, it would be permitted.
