Default Photographer Allowed to Sell Photo Taken of Unknowing Subject

http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2006/02/14/good_news_for_p.php

"Some good news for photobloggers and fans of street photography: a Manhattan judge has ruled photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia was well within his rights to sell copies of this photograph of an Orthodox gentleman. The shot was taken as part of diCorcia's "Heads" project, which involved shooting pictures using a concealed camera."

As much as I enjoy photography, the idea that I could take a picture of a stranger, reproduce it and sell it, all without their permission...is abhorrent to me. There's something very wrong with the idea that it could occur under current laws. How do you photographers feel about this?
