Make a premium WordPress theme based on this design, slap a price on it, and distribute through WordPress theme sites thereby creating an additional income stream for your company. I'm in Miami and I'd be happy to help.

+1 on this. I came here to say that this seems like an awesome opportunity to sell what seems to be quite the hit.

That people are taking the risk of illegally copying it and being publicly shamed speaks volumes for the desirability of your design.

I might actually do this, we were just discussing this at the office!

I probably won't be interested in a Wordpress theme, but if you make a Bootstrap theme quite like this layout I'd definitely buy it.

In the mean time, either of these might be a good starting point for you:

(disclosure: my site)

I would buy this -- its quite nice -- and repurpose it to something other then web design / development

I would buy this as well, it's really a beautiful layout. Hence the copying.

I'd buy too!

A few existing themes follow the parallax scrolling trend: http://themeforest.net/search?term=parallax

Agree, if you make a twitter bootstrap theme you'll find someone who's willing to pay for it too.

+1 on this. Also you will receive a lot inbound links. Be fast on this because someone else could be doing this right now...

Me too. Even better, give the stuff for free and offer paid help. Because, obviously these guys could use some.

Totally agree here. Give them a legal way to 'copy' it and you'll make some money on it. Maybe even make the copyable version easier to install and look slightly different.
