Ok, I am looking for a ruling on if the copies of Dragonstorm can be countered if Overmaster was cast just before. It seems to me like they should not be able to be countered because they are copies of a spell that cannot be countered. My understanding of Overmaster is that it essentially adds the "cannot be countered" text to the next instant or sorcery cast. If that is the case, then it seems like the respective copies should also have this text modification as they were copied after it was added (when Dragonstorm was cast). Of course I'm not a judge and this is just conjecture on my part. In any case, I appreciate any insight any of you may have into this ruling.
This isn't the case, unfortunately. Overmaster doesn't add an ability or any text to Dragonstorm, it adds a temporary special rule to the game itself, pertaining to Dragonstorm. That's not something that gets copied, and only the original Dragonstorm is the next instant or sorcery spell you cast after Overmaster.

I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
Thank you,
