I think that the issue that Maxwell and others have with the producers of The Secret is not their ethics in not sharing their wealth with others, but the underlying flaw in IM that charging for the film appears to expose: the fact that they choose to take money from people rather than intending for the universe to take care of them.
This is difficulty I have in accepting the law of attraction. While I see many examples of people having better lives through it, I haven't heard any convincing stories of people recieving anything extraordinary. I can't see much evidence against, but then again I can't see any evidence for it. To me it seems simply another way for people to defer responsibility for their own lives, and hand it over to a 'supreme force'. But then again, I'd be interested to hear precisely what piece of evidence or personal experience that convinced them.
