This story is not about a Logitech camera.

It is about the Macbook iSight. There is definitely no (official, known) software that allows you to turn off the privacy light. The Apple engineers intended it to be impossible to disable, and believed it was.

Yes, I do understand the story is about Macbook iSight. Was just sharing what happens with another vendor as this is relevant and related.
