For me, I think street shots with people as a whole within a scene is fair game.
If it is specific portrait of a specific person as in say "100 strangers" or any street people portraits that I take, I ask permission prior to taking a shot. If they say no then they say no, but usually they are quite obliging especially after I've spent some time talking with them, listening and getting to know them...they usually are quite interesting people who are just dealing with their own set of demons the best/only way they know how. And I have developed a repoire with many I've run into after taking their photo or meeting them for the first time. I think that's important to me and besides....I'm a bit more chatty than many people. :)
If it came to me making money off a shot then that is a bit of different kettle of fish but that is not why I take these kinds of shots anyhow.
That's my take on it anyhow. :)
