It seems animesuge.to, anix.to and aniwave.to closed down with the exact same message, though there may be a few other sites that closed down in a similar way.
That text is included in every site that was shut down. All I can do is speculate, but I think the site owners were forced to write that. It’s unlikely that every pirate site owner suddenly had a change of heart in regards to piracy.
