Apparently, origami diagrams are considered intellectual property and are protected by copyright laws. Kinda like a trade secret. The origamist took it upon himself figuring out the correct sequence of folds and what kind, and so he/she gets all the rights to the creation.
It's therefore illegal to download origami diagrams not officially released by the authors themselves. There's also an issue about selling an origami model. On origami forums, people debate whether they can sell an origami model they laboriously folded for hours, say a koi fish complete with scales, using origami paper they bought, but whose blueprint they just borrowed from an original author. Some say you can't make profit from something someone else had painstakingly engineered. Some say go right ahead.
Should you feel the urge to show the world that you've successfully figured out how to fold Robert Lang's Housefly or Satoshi Kamiya's Samurai Helmet Beetle through a video tutorial, no matter how good your intentions are, that's not allowed too. So the rule of thumb is just permission from the authors.
Back to the butterfly. Here's Michael LaFosse anyway, an American origamist teaching us how to fold an Alexander Swallowtail butterfly himself.
