We are planning to order direct for our 2 libraries' subscriptions to the HBR and are not planning on dropping it just because they are making it more difficult to obtain.
When another major title jacked their prices for libraries (via vendors) several years ago, we just responded to their copious renewal notices and ordered direct for a 3-year subscription for $88.00 (instead of $379 for one year). The renewal notices/address had us listed as "Jen Library" so we were not hiding the fact that we are a library. We're currently in our second cycle and have not had any problems thus far.
