I think it was common understanding that Great White sightings decline when there are Orcas in the area, but I've never heard of these predatory behaviors just to get some shark livers

  It may be common understanding amongst certain groups. I don't think it's common understanding amongst the general population. I could be wrong of course... Edit: I've never heard of it before.

  The title does suggest that this is something only recently learned, but it seems more like humans have learned something about orcas than the orcas learning anything.
