Ok - NOBODY can answer what controls the LED in your webcam, so if you're paranoid, like me, when you're not using it, unplug it.

Why does it matter? If you have a shutter, just close the shutter
Who's webcam has a closable shutter?
If you're concerned about such things why do you have a webcam
Some people know what controls it, snd they agree with you.

I talked to one of the authors of that paper at a party once and they said some of the other cameras they looked at had the light on any time the camera had power. No faking out that design!
