pcb side view

In general copper side view means either bottom or top in PCB?
 

copper side on a pcb

In general it's no usual technical term. But if meaningful at all, it should mean bottom view, I think.

As FVM said, it's really not a technical term you hear with PCBs.

Traditionally TOP = Component Side, BOTTOM = Solder Side

although that terminology goes out the window when you're talking about densely-populated boards with components on both sides....

I supposed the term "copper side" could apply to a single-sided board.....
 

what is copper side view

we usually consider it as both bottom and top sides.

while in double layer there are are 2 side one is component side other is solder side .

In general it is meant for bottom side, but nowadays solder side is more commonly used for bottom (remember solder can be on the Top side if there is any SMD componets there).
